 | Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £1.58 A classic. Wonderful, mysterious. What's not to like?
|
 | The Littlest Detective in London by Suzy Brownlee
Buy new: £4.12 / Used from: £1.49 I usually prefer classics but came across this. Hilarious. New series about two girls, a pathetic henchman, a ratty cat and a cake-loving babysitter. My eldest couldn't put it down.

 | Stig of the Dump (Puffin Modern Classics) by Clive King
Buy new: £4.72 / Used from: £0.01 I have always loved this book about Barney and his mate Stig. Would have been number one except it's ever-so-slightly dated and might not appeal to all kids.

 | A Little Princess (Puffin Classics) by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Buy new: £4.23 / Used from: £0.01 My sister's favourite, and now my daughter's.
|
 | The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £0.01 As mentioned, I like a bit of history and adventure, as do my children, so this book ticks all the boxes. Read it over and over again.

Buy new: £4.47 / Used from: £1.12 If you kids liked Jurassic Park, they will like this.
|
 | Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell

|
